And then the hardcore farmers will find the most efficient way to make gold either way. Maybe that involves doing those events, maybe chain-event farming, maybe dungeons. And then people will still complain about what they do.
I don’t know why people want to stop these champ trains. It’s a player choice. No one is forcing you to go there and join in.
It’s as if people keep checking in at these hardcore farmers and want to nerf every single thing that they are doing just because.
I wasn’t saying we should stop them. I was simply saying, maybe give us a little more in the way of options. People can farm (efficiently or not) to their hearts content.
I have no issues with the champ trains (so long as they aren’t impeding my play), I don’t ride ‘em. It’s not in my nature to run with the zerg…

Instead of an artificial time gate, why not just move the boxes off Champions and to the successful completion of events, instead?
The larger, more difficult the event, the better the box.
Lets see what would happen
-people would continue to ignore champs and focus on killing off easier mobs for loot, defeating the whole purpose of risk/reward
-end-game, difficult events would be focused on and no one would bother doing any other event on any other map
-hardcore farmers would probably find the most efficient route and ignore all other events
-people would tag an event, kill a few mobs, then hop off to the next event and hope the remaining people will finish it for credit
You mean the stuff they do anyway.
Maybe the better alternative would be to add the boxes to events, in addition to already being on champs. Then, scale the boxes for both champs and events according to their difficulty. We would need some additional support to handle up-scaling of event more so than what we have now. We would also need some tweaking to downscaling of players for the lower levels zones – not only downscaling their skills and level, but also the armor, weapon, and strength of traits. This way decked out level 80s are more “truly” lvl 3 or 4 again (for example), then when the lower end events (like QD) scale up, its actually becomes a challenge again (no 2 hitting the foes).
This would potentially allow for some people to split off from the zerg, as some will prefer champion hunting while others prefer event hunting. It would give a little more in the way of options.

Septemptus, I really think this is just a matter of perspective. You’re making the experience out to be onerous and frustrating, so of course that is how it will feel to you. No arguments against your points (and there are deep, controversial flaws in your reasoning on some things) will persuade you because you are viewing the day-to-day experience of playing the game antagonistically. It doesn’t matter what metaphor you use: a race (as you have here), a “job,” a “grind,” “entrapment”- no one will be able to say anything that makes you feel better by countering the lines of your argument, because to you it will sound like, “well, it’s not that much of a race.”
Guild Wars 2 is none of these things. Guild Wars 2 is a game. All that ultimately should matter to you is whether or not you are having fun in the moment-to-moment experience of playing it. If the answer is yes, then things will surely still bother you like they do me, but these flaws won’t resonate enough to really hamper your enjoyment. If the answer is no, which it sounds like it might be starting to be for you, then that’s okay too. You aren’t being financially compelled to continue.
I will say that “it’s hard to stop when you’re into something” sounds a little indicative of a propensity for addiction. If you would feel like you should keep playing no matter what ArenaNet did, that would be a problem. I certainly don’t feel that way.
Very well said. +1

Just couldn’t ignore the double negative in the title?
I think the double negative only cancels itself out in algebra. Here on the forums I believe it emphasizes an increasing magnitude and here a sense of terrible loss.
No, the rule exists in English as well. Random crap I remember from high school English classes.
“In most logics and some languages, double negatives cancel one another and produce an affirmative sense”
“In Standard English, two negatives are understood to resolve to a positive. This rule was observed as early as 1762”

Just because you didn’t like the skin doesn’t mean that everyone else doesn’t like it as well. Conversely, just because you like it, doesn’t mean everyone else will.
You didn’t like the ascended skin, so you transmuted it to a skin you like. Now, you’re unhappy because ‘everyone else won’t know!’ Honestly, how many people do you think care? Sure some do, but I think the majority of players probably don’t. As long you are happy with your level of stats (given what is attainable) and with the looks you chose, that’s all the truly matters, or should anyway.
No one makes a legendary weapon for themselves. It’s for others to ogle at. If you just want to keep yourself happy with gear, why play an MMO? A solo game would be better. The sole reason to play an MMO is to show off to other players. That’s the only reason why other players exist – to admire each other’s gear.
“No one” hmmm…. if you say so. I’ll count myself as ‘no one’ in a sea of ‘no ones’ based on various responses on the forums across a multitude of threads where people have stated that they don’t give a crap what others are wielding, and could care less what other think of what they are wielding. Oh sure, it’s nice to show off, but for many it’s not their sole reason for doing something.
No, the “sole reason” to play an MMO is not to show off to other players. Ok, maybe to you it is, but for everyone I know it’s not the reason. Some people play for the social aspect. Some people play just because they like the genre, you can get so much more from a MMO than from a typical solo, rpg. That’s just to name a couple of the bigger reasons, I’m sure there’s a long list, and I doubt “showing off” is at the top of it for most people.
Lol, the only reason other people exist is to admire other people’s gear. That’s a good one. I guess we’re all doing it wrong, opting to play the game. Instead we should all just hang out in LA and gawk at each other. No TP needed. No loot needed. No quests, no dungeons, no pvp, no wvw, no story at all. Hell, just drop the rest of the game completely, we’re all just here to stare at the shinies. rofl. Anet can just give us a closet with the skins and we can all play barbie.
Come, be reasonable. What’s the point of everyone having free access to all gear? Dungeons, TP, loot and quests are necessary so that not everyone can acquire the best items no?
Not if we’re only here to “show off” as you put it. If you’re only here to play barbie dress up and fashion show (which is pretty much what you boiled it down to, ie “the sole reason of playing a MMO is to show off”) then everything else is pointless. Just give everyone the armor, let them dress up and parade around to their hearts content.
Thank you for the chuckle though. That mental image was just hilarious: Project runway: Lions Arch!

I took the suggestion more charitably and read it as that these environmental weapons would be necessary, but not sufficient for success. Meaning there could be other areas of the encounter that we’d put to use our other skills if we so desired. Such as protecting the environmental weapons, making certain buffs more crucial to success, and of course direct damage.
Just differences in how we perceive the same thing is all. Where you took it as ‘a necessary part of’ I took her phase ‘focus of defeating’ more as a ‘you need to use this to beat him instead of.’ Which in some instances, I’m still fine with that tactic. It changes it up a bit. I just wouldn’t want all bosses that way, because then I’d be asking myself why I bothered bringing my own stuff at all. chuckle Thus why I said ‘flawed slightly.’ =)
Don’t look at me like that. Whatever you’ve heard, it’s probably not true.
Ascended weapon is only one of the examples. Exotic dungeon armor is another. Also fractal skin, world boss exclusive skin, etc.
It’s not exactly the “time” that’s in concern. But it’s the concept that “you can’t get it now no matter how hard you work” that’s discouraging. And that becomes “why work hard and invest time on that?”
I don’t think dungeon armor is really that bad. I mean, even assuming you run only 1 path, once a day, @60 tokens once a day it’s roughly 23 days to get all 6 pieces. Now, most people won’t run only 1 path a day. Let’s assume they they do 2 unique paths a day, which is 120 tokens / day, 1380 total for the 6 pieces (I think all exotic sets are the same number of tokens, I’ve only checked a couple). That drops you down to 11.5 days for full gear, assuming you do no extra runs for the lesser token amounts, and get no ‘bonus tokens’ from any drops. That’s rather reasonable imo.
Don’t look at me like that. Whatever you’ve heard, it’s probably not true.
I did say ‘with the exception of […] fractals’
Also, people have and do play WvW naked, or in non-exotics to make the point that if you’re a skilled player, it can be done. And done well. (And if they do kill you, whilest naked, don’t you just feel like crap?) So, even in WvW, it’s not too terribly concerning.
Don’t look at me like that. Whatever you’ve heard, it’s probably not true.
snort
Hell, which part of the game can you not play in rares? With the exception of extremely high level fractals (which are intended for a very specific mindset of people), you can do pretty much anything naked if you chose.

All show that they are seeking ways to create counters that require skill from the players. Each has its own unique rewards for being able to do it – a mini, specific weapon skins, etc. They may not be what some people want as their rewards, but many were happy with them. For some, the content itself was enough. Just depends on the player. They won’t be able to make everyone happy though.
We’ve been told that we can look forward to more of these types of things, as they continue to revamp the world bosses and the dungeons. It’s not huge strides right now, but they are making the attempt, and things like this take time.
Don’t look at me like that. Whatever you’ve heard, it’s probably not true.
I do agree that Bosses need to have more mechanics, which require us to play strategically and skillfully.
Each of your points hold merit OP, however point one is flawed slightly. By having the environmental effects (bundles, kits, w/e) become the ‘necessity’ to winning, you negate our weapons and skills. It becomes less about skill and more about simply knowing the rotation for the needed item. Instead, the environmental ‘extras’ should be part of the strategy to killing the boss – ie, needing to set up a laser at a given time, needing to kite him into a trap to weaken him enough to finally slay him, etc. These things in conjunction with skilled play. They’ve started do this some from the sounds of the Tequatl changes. Now they simply need to build on it.

On the other hand, sometimes when your dealing with a toddler having a tantrum you have to let them scream it out. So maybe ANet is treating us like toddlers.
Sadly, ignoring the issue has never made it just go away, in any case I can think of. They would be far better off addressing it, but perhaps for internal reasons they can’t? In Gaile’s day, we had a lot more interaction from the community managers, and even when Regina took over, it was still pretty good. We don’t have that communication now, which is odd.
Of course, if they are treating us like toddlers, I good smack on the kitten would still probably go further…..

You know what’s the solution? Roll back the COF P1 nerf so farmers have a happy time (trapped) inside.
They don’t want to segregate the population like this though. They want the majority of people out in the open world playing together, not in dungeons. Which was part of the reasons given for why they aren’t considering doing hard mode for dungeons.
And then the rest of the playerbase will continue to complain that effort =/= reward.
all because casual players don’t like how other players play.
This is a general issue with human nature, something that can be overcome, but most people are too petty and/or greedy to bother. Greed is what makes the world go ’round, it seems.
Honestly, (personally) I could care less what other people do. If they want to run the wheel, like a hamster, and farm their brains out because that’s what they like to do, go for it. They aren’t forcing me to do it, so it don’t bother me. If I’m in a map and the zerg train is coming through, I go do something else for 5-10 minutes, then come back and carry on with what I was doing or I hop in long enough to kill what I was probably aiming to kill anyway and then carry on. I don’t let their play interfere by ‘stopping’ me.

I’ve been having that issue since I tried logging into the forum around 830am… (eastern time). Driving me batty
Don’t look at me like that. Whatever you’ve heard, it’s probably not true.
My husband and I have both been having terrible lag with this patch, and we aren’t even doing anything that could be considered ‘taxing.’ This is typically just running around out in the open world, and it’s just the two of us, usually taking on 2-3 foes. We didn’t have this much of an issue prior to the most recent patch.
However, we’ve verified our internet connection, we’ve made sure nothing else is using it while we play, and we’ve combed through our systems for bottlenecks. We’ve come to the conclusion it’s not on our end.

I think I could say absolutely anything, and you’d dissect, quibble, and argue for the sake of it.
You’re wrong. I don’t argue about everything.
Are you arguing that your arguing about arguing is not arguably arguable?
No, I’m arguing that I’m misunderstood in what I argue about.

There is no easy solution to the problem posed here.
There has been (since basically the launch of the game) the general complaint that veteran and champion mobs were not rewarding enough for the effort they required. (Especially after the general loot issues in November). They first attempted to fix this by making sure these mob types had some type of guaranteed drop for anyone that qualified (ie enough dmg). However, a guaranteed blue or green drop was not good enough for most people. As such, the majority of all champs were simply not killed. People just ran passed them, as they deemed that they still “weren’t worth the effort.” There was still the outcry that they weren’t worth it, something more needed to be done. Anet, again tried to ‘fix’ the issue, listening to their player base, and adjusting some of the loot rewards – enter champion loot bags. These bags now made the champs worth killing, and as an added bonus, to help appease some of those asking for skins to farm and additional ways to gather high end materials, they threw those into the rng champs bags as well. Should have been a win-win all around.
Now; however, we are faced with the issue of massive zergs rushing from champ to champ, seeking the fastest possible route with the least resistance. While Anet is pleased that people are playing together in the open world (Colin day say as much), I (personal opinion incoming) don’t think they really intended for such massive groups to all on the same foe, the way we are with the champion farming. This is semi-supported by the fact that they simply don’t scale (presently) quite the way they should.
Simply scaling the champs for the larger groups may alleviate some of the complaints about not being able to get your hits in to qualify for the loot tables, but that will only work for so long. We are already getting the complaints (and honestly have been for a while) that simple ‘zerg play’ isn’t fun. People just aren’t happy with it, and feel like they are being forced into it.
I feel that champs need to not only scale better, but when they hit a certain number of people, their mechanics need to adjust as well, to make them more interesting and potentially more fun. This way you can’t just stand there and let your auto attack do the work for you. In addition to this, we need incentive to not simply ‘run the zerg loop’ like mindless hamsters. I get that some people enjoy this, and that’s fine; however, some people are only doing it because it’s lucrative. They’d prefer to be doing other things but feel locked into this zerg gameplay. They need something else to entice them back out into the other things they enjoy, instead of feeling like they need to be on the choo choo train in order to make money.
Hopefully, as they continue to overhaul their world bosses, dungeons, etc we will start seeing other part of the game become more lucrative and “worth doing,” which might help break up some of the zerg-i-ness. We will simply have to have some patience and see what develops.

Seeing as most people here are unable to comprehend what I am asking for, or even why a completionist would feel compelled to complete all dailies, I will stop responding to this thread.
I hope Anet is already aware of the issue and will eventually fix it.
Made the thread…. couldn’t take the response. Check
On topic, I was part of the ‘completionist’ crowd once. Then I missed some achievements, and low-n-behold, it didn’t kill me. Its not the end of the world.
I can understand the compulsion to want to do it all, but honestly the only person that can help you, is you. You have to make the decision to either stick to your guns and do them, letting the inner demon dictate how you play. OR, take a deep breath, choose not to, and play the way ‘you want to.’ Honestly, choosing to do all the dailies is ‘play how you want’ because you are making that decision. No one has a gun to your head. (Well, you might be holding one to your own head, but I’m not a shrink, I can’t help you there)
We are given that many dailies in order to provide players with a variety of options in their hunt to complete their 5 a day. People don’t want to be locked into the same 5 every day necessarily. Some prefer to simply not do them at all.
The only person that can decide how you want to approach your dailies, is you. Don’t expect ‘big brother’ to make the decisions for you. Don’t be a mindless sheep!

Basically he was saying that they aren’t quite happy with how the town clothing works either. He did say that they weren’t really sure what they were going to do with it. It was something they were still looking at.

You don’t need to do “all” of the dailies in the category. Just 5. Personally, if I don’t feel like doing them, I just don’t do them.

I clicked “Don’t Care” because I really, really just don’t care about Ascended weapons. Entropy/Genesis + Wings of Dwayna forever!
Also, did they say they were bumping up Legendary Weapons to match Ascended?
Yeah they did.
To add to that (yeah),
You will be able to switch their stats out of combat…. ( think this, is unique and should be for a legendary, this and not having it soul bound (account bound only…))Thanks you two. I’m more inclined to get a Legendary before bothering with Ascended in that case. Or are we grouping Legendary Weapons with Ascended Weapons ( post the patch on LW’s ) together? If so, my “Don’t Care” still applies, as I won’t bother getting one until it’s absolutely necessary to do so, and by then I can just drop the gold for it most likely.
You might be better off just going with the legendary, if not having BiS doesn’t bother you. It has been stated repeatedly that legendary will always be on par with BiS, and with the addition of being able to swap stats outside of battle, oh what a fricking boon! One armor, build at will….. yum!
Don’t look at me like that. Whatever you’ve heard, it’s probably not true.

I fall somewhere between dislike and don’t care. Not really an option on there for me. I dislike the precedent that the new tier sets. As long as it is the last tier then I’m ok. I don’t feel rushed to get it, I will get one eventually, in my own sweet time. There isn’t anything I do/enjoy that I have to have it for, nothing that it is gating me on. Hell, I’ve done WvW in my panties (no gold for armor repair haha), so not having BiS right now doesn’t bother me in the least.

The only person that can really answer that question is you.
The only ascended that has been added is the weapons, and the new materials. There is no higher armor than exotic as yet.
Don’t look at me like that. Whatever you’ve heard, it’s probably not true.
Thus why I asked if they (the weapon you select) were not merchable or salvageable. Aint got one, so I don’t know. If you cant merch it, or salvage it, yeah it’s rather… a space waster. I won’t argue that.
I don’t know, I haven’t had an ascended weapon yet, so can’t tell you. My guess is they aren’t salvageable and they sell for 4s16 to a merchant (where have we seen this lovely system before…).
Non-salvagable would be a brat. They could at least give me some ecto or dark matter for the things, but I guess I’m ok with merching the crap ones (at least I get something for them), but might be a tad light on the payout imo. I didn’t expect oodles of gold for them, but somewhere closer 1g, hell even 50s, would be nice. They are (after all) rare drops.

For those saying I’m an ungrateful whiner that’s too entitled, let me make an analogy.
Let’s say a guy walks up to you on the streets and gives you a broken watch. You have to put it on, and can’t take it off unless you destroy it completely. You aren’t allowed to sell it for parts, you aren’t allowed to use the parts on it to make a good watch, and you aren’t allowed to sell it to people who collect broken watches.
Would you be grateful? No, of course not, because that would make you an idiot.
As for people suggesting I should try different builds, I’m not going to deflate the tires of my car, just to see if it drives better. I already know it drives worse, and there’s absolutely no point in doing so, and it would make me look like an idiot.
I’m not being ungrateful or being self-entitled. I’m just pointing out the glaring design flaw.
What they should have done is implement a box system in Fractals where you can pick your weapon and have the weapon drop where you can pick your stats with the Ascended weapons.
Right now they just implemented the worst system on both sides.
Thus why I asked if they (the weapon you select) were not merchable or salvageable. Aint got one, so I don’t know. If you cant merch it, or salvage it, yeah it’s rather… a space waster. I won’t argue that.
Don’t look at me like that. Whatever you’ve heard, it’s probably not true.
But they make it more convenient and more likely that he will get the exact weapon he wants so he starts complaining because it isn’t easy enough.
Wait, are you trying to imply that loot drops out of dumb luck determines how easy or hard the game is?
There are plenty of players who have been requesting, for an entire year, for hard content that rewards top gear. Instead, to get the ascended weapons, we must farm for countless hours by spamming auto-attacks, or hope for RNG within RNG to not get useless ascended gear.
It would be a lesser problem if we could sell it. But alas, we can not.
No I’m pretty sure he’s saying that Anet tried giving the players a nice update to weapon acquisition (ie, getting a random stat, but being able to pick the weapon they got) and got slapped in the face for it. We could just as easily got back to the days were you didn’t get to pick at all what you got as the drop.
Don’t look at me like that. Whatever you’ve heard, it’s probably not true.
Yeah, I was responding more to the “They nerfed it into the ground” comment.
Ah, my misunderstanding.
Karma is far from useless in my opinion. I use it to gear alts and get gear for my builds. You need it for legendaries and now ascended. You could even turn it into gold if you found it so useless.
/ Agreed

OK, maybe fishing.. Although, I’m with Seven Star….ye gods, the scariness of catching a karka. Just ow.
The only issue with that, is as someone else already called for, leading to other ‘gathering’ such as skinning. How do multiple players skin the same animal? Considering how shared looting and gathering works in this game.
Beyond that, I don’t want this game to turn into other MMO clones… Start with fishing, next comes skinning, well now how about farming…we’ll start with animals, then we’ll get into actually planting crops, next up we’ll add running your own shop. Ugh stop, no just no. This is not WoW. This is not FarmVille, or PioneerVille, or FarmVille 2! If I wanted to do those things, I would go play those games.
I understand that people like those things. That they desire to do those things. However, this is not that game. Please stop trying to make it that game. Please go play said multitude of other games that offer those features, instead of or in conjunction with this one. Then all your “i want to do ‘x’” itches get a good scratch.
Don’t look at me like that. Whatever you’ve heard, it’s probably not true.
I don’t even see it as a problem. Maybe a potential one for those with a lot of alts. You still have multiple other ways to get exotic armor besides karma. Maybe it will make more people run dungeons for armor and get them doing more events for karma. Could be a good thing.
Lol. that wasn’t the issue.
His issue is that he has loads of karma, and nothing he deems worthy of spending it on. So I asked him what he thinks Anet should put in the game that would be worthy of spending his karma on, since at this point he sees it as pointless.
On the other hand, I do use my karma. I don’t have his issue where it ‘feels pointless’ since I use it for gear and such. I don’t have anywhere near as much as him, but that’s ok with me.
But that’s what we were discussing. For those that see karma as pointless, what do they want in the game that would make it not pointless for them. Like I said, I see lots of complaints about it, but never any suggested solutions.
Don’t look at me like that. Whatever you’ve heard, it’s probably not true.
I realize ascended items aren’t tradeable, but are they not sell-able? Salvageable? I mean, could do either of those if you got the box and didn’t want those stats. I understand that you want a particular stat combo, but I think it was nice that they allow you to select a weapon type at all. Be happy its not a predetermined weapon type and stat combination like in other games.
Don’t look at me like that. Whatever you’ve heard, it’s probably not true.
And still. after wall of text, millions of karma and nothing to use it on, problem not solved and new ones created.
And still even after directly asked, no suggestions on solving it. Makes you part of the problem, not part of the solution.
Don’t look at me like that. Whatever you’ve heard, it’s probably not true.
No.
Instead ANet giving better, more interesting ways to spend karma, they nerf it to the ground.
Because people sitting on millions of karma (me included) still have 0 use for karma since their “solution” didnt solve ANY problem people who actually complained have.
There a lots of Karma merchants in the world. They offer a range of stuff from starter to lvl 80 armor/weapons/trinkets to recipes and materials for building crafting. Just because you and others like you have no use for those things, does not mean that others do not. Two sides to every issue.
You have millions of karma “and 0 use for it,” and there’s why ANet nerfed it. You, like so many others complain there is no use for it. You don’t use it. You don’t need it. But now, you won’t be wracking up so much of it either. Sucks for the rest of us that don’t have such large caches, but I guess we just have to make do.
What would you like them to give you for Karma? I see a lot of complaints like yours, but rarely any suggested solutions.
You have exotic armor, you have fine and masterwork armor and trinkets across the board for leveling, you even have fine and masterwork weapons across all levels…this way if you don’t craft your weapons or armor, you still don’t have to necessarily TP it or rely on drops/story.
Do you want them to give you (more) rares at all levels? Maybe a set of rare armor to bridge the gap between masterwork and exotic? What would be the point? you don’t spend your karma on the exotic temple armor anyway. Wouldn’t this turn around be considered a waste of effort as well?
How about rare materials, tier appropriate to the zone? What supplies those merchants with those materials then? How do they not simply just run out? Letting them be unlimited has the potential to completely screw with the economy.
While it’s fine that you feel you have 0 use for karma as it currently stands, I can accept that. On the other hand for example, I do use my karma…for gear and trinkets as I’m leveling alts. For the occasional weapon as well (63k karma for a rare weapon…might not phase you, but it sure hurts my karma pocketbook), and for the rare crafting recipes. I haven’t even looked at using them to get the orrian boxes or for shards as yet.

Yes plz!
+however many char this thing needs lol

My suggestion would be to grab screenshots, keep a record of where and when and then open a full ticket via the support website. This way you can attach multiple screenshots and present more detail to support your concern. The report interface is simply too limited for the claim you’re making, imo.
well issue with that is that in WvW you don’t see names of the players so screenshots would be kind of useless… maximum i can tell is the name of the guild that is
Which is also why I suggested tracking, when and where. The time of the offense, along with the location, in conjunction with a screenie of the offender would make it easier for them to track down the person in question. Its what logs are for.
what if there is 70 people zerg?
Their issue not yours. But they should still see the anomaly in the log if its there. It at least gives them a place to start
